Users with sufficient permission are able to administer and configure LabInspector to the needs of their organization
The Admin menu will appear only for users with sufficient permission to use the tools. If you expect to be able to access some of the tools described below, reach out to your system administrator.
Device Categories
The device category list allows administrators to add or delete categories which can be defined when registering devices. Standard index page search tools exist, and each record has a Delete button to the right which can be used to remove the category from the system.
Click Create Device Category at the top of the form, enter a name, and submit the form to register a new category.
Sites
The Sites list allows administrators to manage the list of sites which locations, and thus devices, can be associated with. All standard search tools exist, and users can delete sites using the buttons on the right of the form.
Click Create site at the top of the page, enter a name, and submit the form to register a new Site.
Locations
Locations are meant to represent more specific areas within an overall site, and the locations list allows admins to manage the list of locations in the system. Standard search tools exist, and the X button can be used to delete an unwanted location.
Click Add Location at the top of the page, specify a site, location number and name, and submit the form to register a new location.
Capital Expenditure
The capital expenditure section allows users to specify thresholds for which devices will be compared to determine if they are a capital expenditure. When managing devices, a device cost can be specified, which will be compared against the current Capital Expenditure threshold. If the device cost is over the threshold, the CapEx? field will be marked as true.
To create a new threshold, click the Add Threshold button in the upper right of the Capital Expenditure page. Specify a threshold and a start date. This will replace the existing current capital expenditure, and the previous threshold will be moved to the list on the right, which serves as a historical record of previous thresholds. These records can be deleted using the button on the right of the grid.
Issue Categories
Issue categories allow administrators to categorize the issues reported by their users. For each issue, a default assignee can be defined. This user will be assigned every issue registered of the given category, unless otherwise specified. Standard index page search tools exist, and users can delete using the buttons on the right.
To add a new category, click Create category, enter a name, and optionally define a default assignee.
